Agriculture produces food, which is a source of potential energy, more specifically chemical energy.

It does this by photosyntheses - using sunlight shining on plants to convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbon to build the plants' tissues and release oxygen as a waste product.

Agriculture also uses some of the carbon plant tissue (grass) to feed animals to produce more food. This process releases carbon back into the atmosphere but because this carbon cycle is a short-term one it is less pernicious than burning carbon fuels laid down in the ground millions of years ago.

What part in a circuit that produces potential difference?

The potential difference is provided by the power source, which can be a battery or some form of electric generator. Inside the source, electric charges are raised up a potential gradient, and they then give up their energy as they travel down the potential gradient in the circuit that is being supplied with energy.
